Dessert is always the final touch of a great evening, and that’s why a really good New Year’s dessert is essential. The great thing about many of the New Year’s desserts you’ll find here is that they can be prepared in advance. If you choose, for example, an ice cream cake, you can make it several weeks ahead. Then you only need to take it out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for a little while before slicing and serving it. There are also other New Year’s desserts that you can prepare on the day itself. That’s convenient because it means you don’t have to spend as much time in the kitchen right after the main course.

Something I really appreciate for New Year’s is that the food should be easy and delicious—and especially the dessert is wonderful to have prepared ahead of time so it’s ready to serve. A classic chocolate mousse, for example, can be made the day before. You can also make your favorite cheesecake, which can easily be prepared 1–2 days ahead, as it needs time to set. Try my very popular recipes for Oreo Cheesecake or Daim Cheesecake. They are always a hit, and you can also serve them beautifully in individual glasses.
